Doesn't trade up. Plays safe for his token 1st round gem. Trades back multiple times and doesn't address holes. We don't have a backup QB. JT Barrett in 7th would have been nice. Linebackers galore and defensive tackle when we have plenty. Adios hurney

#2 WR/Offensive Playmaker : ✓

#2/3 CB who can play man and zone : ✓

FS who can cover the slot and also tackle and blitz : ✓ 

#2 TE who can block and catch: ✓

More pass rush : ✓

LB/Dline depth : ✓

Idk man we filled a lot of holes.

How predictable, and pretty dumb.

Yeah this draft was. Typical hurney conservatism. JR was in his ear. What was the point of having the extra third to just trade back and take camp fodder? When we could have literally thrown that to trade for something worth the damn. Hurneys ego is unbelievable.

If history can repeat itself AGAIN, we have a legit WR now! Makes this draft worth something! Who knows, we may get lucky and have a stud among the rest of the draft but I wouldn’t get my hopes up as it has only happened 3 times, 4 including Mathis. Hitting like the Saints did last year is rare, however, take comfort that we will have a new GM drafting next year and WR shouldn’t be a pressing need

Time will tell with Moore.

Corner who will not start.

Free Safety who wasn't a free safety.

#2 te for depth chart. That guy has no production.

We have plenty of pass rush and do depth. At that point we needed qb/rb/true safety

 

fuging boring and the whitest draft ever.

Got a possible true number 1 WR (first time since Smith left and Cam approves). Got a fast starting CB to compliment Bradberry. Got a starting safety that can line up and guard TEs and slot WRs. Got a TE that needs a year or two behind Olsen and could develop into our starter. Lastly got younger depth for our defensive line and linebackers late in the draft. Seems solid to me. I mean it’s always going to be a gamble and every guy you want will not get drafted by the Panthers (we are lucky they drafted one in D.J. Moore that most of us wanted).

Pretty sure he will emerge as the no.1 WR and I was against the pick!

CB will be #3 for awhile, then perhaps cut loose, but who knows

The S will be our Colin Jones 2.0

Ian Thomas is intriguing! He may be Hurney’s fifth ever Non 1st rounder to become a legit starter.

The rest are camp fodders. Accept it. Norton may push Love for a roster spot and the LB from UNC could be good depth and Mayo insurance on the short term.

Hurney absolutely did not make the "safe" picks on day one or two (when it really really matters), he chose the guys with the it-factor and higher upside. He did this with our round 4 pick as well. After that, it was all about value and upside. No need to reach with even late round picks when you can probably patch any more perceived holes with seasoned vets.

      Possibly playoff affectng news

      By Donald LaFell · Posted

      You would hope so. I’m confused why the sports world seems split on Bryce when he’s obviously not working out.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      So let’s do the reverse? Make everyone agree everything he does is a disaster? I also think the whole “gaslighting” is on the eye of the beholder. It went from he can’t avoid one single sack countered with he actually did that well Sunday (with data backing it) to a little breakdown of why he is so bad. People are going to have different opinions. I’m also not going to pretend this wasn’t happening Day one with this little QB.

      All this great stuff he has done, how often does he do it?  I have it at three or four games out of 14 where he was very good and then you get a drive here or a series there where there are some good things. Here is the gaslight part: everyone has put him on a curve with his first year the baseline, neglecting to understand how bad he was then. Even if he comes back twice as good, where does that really leave him? 25th ranked or thereabouts.     He had so far to go, and still does, it is a Major ‘settle’ to accept his play as worthy of giving him our future.  You want to settle when the Bucs have Mayfield, and the Saints have overtaken us at QB? We will be third in the division at QB. That is good enough for y’all?
